Question Newbi Question

How do i install a boost controller and guage. ive searched this forum and google but i cant find how to. i sort of know how since my friends have any where from a VR-4 to a Turbo Stang. I am going to ask them to help but i rather do it my self. im tired of asking the same people. i feel nagging. any thing would help.

oh and how can i test my plug wires. i just put in a new cap and rotor and i want to check my plugs. the out side condition looks fine but what ohms or volts should they be at.

help is much appreciated.

Manual boost controller installation instructions:
http://www.twosrus.com/new/Lower_Fra...structions.PDF

Installing a mechanical boost gauge is easy.
1. Find a suitable location for your gauge.
2. Run a vacuum line from the gauge to a vacuum source off your intake manifold.
3. Splice the power wire to a power source that turns on with the gauge lights (I used the fog light switch).
4. Run the ground wire to a suitable ground location (a nut bolted to the chassis should do it).

And you're done!

Follow the link to the installation instruction.
Do more research on how the turbo/wastegate/boost controller works, and you won't have any more problem.

^ You can pretty much use any vacuum line. Either use the one coming off of your bypass valve... or the one leading from your intake plentum to the little black box that says "boost pressure sensor" in the rear of your engine bay.
